You don't really need to flock your entire tube. 95% or more of the benefit of flocking comes from blocking stray light from what you see from the focuser drawtube, looking thru the with the turned down focuser and stretching to see where any stray light can enter the bottom of the drawtube.
i thought that too, and i wasnt sure if i wanted to buy $100 of sticky back felt and do the whole lot before really looking into it so i got 1 square for behind the secondary, i put that piece in while i was cleaning the mirrors, it actually stuck really nicely and looks good but its cloudy here tonight so i didn't get to see if it made a difference.
